Smoke by Catherine McKenzie
5.0
*I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
I could not put this book down! Ok, yes, I had to go to work and I had to sleep at some point, but other than that I was riveted to this story and to these characters. Well written dialogue and a well thought out plot came together and kept me interested. No gratuitous drama for the sake of pulling on the heartstrings, just characters that are flawed enough to seem real and good enough to be likeable. The ominous fire looming and threatening the town provided plenty of tension as there is a race to extinguish the fire and figure out how it was set and by whom. The conclusion is immensely satisfying and I recommend giving this a read.
